Rangers of the New Republic

[Jedi Marso]

The other thing to remember is that Dark Forces 2, Jedi Knight came out before Episode I, so much of the 'mythology' of the Jedi was still limited to the OT at the time. Katarn's Force sensitivity on a meta level was due to gaming purposes. In the milieu it was never explained other than he was simply Force sensitive, and this was all before anyone ever heard of Midichlorians.

From the mythology perspective, it lends credence to Katarn's success and ability to survive as a lone agent in so many hairy situations as well as against the Dark Troopers from the first game. Like Chirrut in Rogue One, his Force sensitivity probably granted him speed and reflexes well above 'normal' adversaries, even though he wasn't Jedi-trained at the time. Unlike Chirrut, he knew nothing of the Force (relatively speaking) until the events of DF2.

I looked on Wookiepedia, and it says Kyle's father was Force-sensative, but wasn't a Jedi.

Because Gina Carano was supposed to be the lead?

 

[fireproof78]

Nuts.

 

[The Wormhole]

That sucks, but I can't say I'm surprised.

 

[valkyrie013]

Well.. Just hire her back and make the show?

Whatever ideas that were going to be in the show will probably be in other shows that do the crisis of infinite star wars crossover that will probably happen between mando, boba, and ahsoka

Damn. I wonder if they just couldn't find a way to make it work without Cara Dune?

Well.. Just hire her back and make the show?

Unless she's managed to redeem herself in some way I can't see that happening. They seemed to make it pretty clear they want nothing to do with her after how she was behaving on social media, so unless she's apologized or in some way made up for the things she was saying, I can't see Disney wanting to anything to do with her.

Recast.

Kathryn Hahn.

Well Bette Middler has said a shed load worse yet she's in hocus pocus 2.. Owell..

 

[Turtletrekker]

As Disney knew that they weren't going to bring back Gina Carano before they even announced the show, it's entirely possible that she had nothing to do with it. It wouldn't be the first highly anticipated show that didn't make it past development-stage. I still wish that we would have gotten Marvel's Most Wanted starring Mockingbird and agent Lance Hunter.

Such as?

 

[valkyrie013]

Such as?

They are legion..
Calling people the N word, multiple Nazi refs to Republicans, especially Trump.. Etc etc.
Look it up.

I rarely take seriously the opinion of people who tell me to look things up because that means they're not willing to back up their own words with sources. As for comparing trump to a Nazi, well if the shoe fits at all that, so you'll have to do better than that.

@Turtletrekker
Ugh.. okay, back home, wasn't going to quote on a phone..

Here ya go

Black people in the background of a Trump signing.
“Look, there are African American men in this shot!,” Midler tweeted. “How much did he pay them to be “blackground”?”

About Melina Trump

#beBest is back! A UGE bore! She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!

or

"Oh, God. She still can’t speak English."


About Rand Paul.. his neighbor nearly killed him..

"Where's Rand Paul's neighbor when we need him?"

About Catlin Jenner, nice Transphobic one.

"Now that @IAmCait has been cancelled, will she go back to being Bruce? Will Kris (Jenner) take him back? Do I smell a re-wedding?!"

Nice N word one,about Yoko Ono

"women, are the n-word of the world." "Raped, beaten, enslaved, married off, worked like dumb animals; denied education and inheritance; enduring the pain and danger of childbirth and life IN SILENCE for THOUSANDS of years They are the most disrespected creatures on earth."


Lovely Trump one

"He actually looks better here! Maybe someone in his camp can gently give him a shiv. I mean, shove."

Nice Vaxer one

“If my kid can’t bring peanut butter to school then yours can’t bring the deathly plague. Vaccinate or I’m bringing the Jiffy,” she Tweeted May 9, 2021.

So... yes.. Just because she's attacking the right side doesn't make it right.. An Ass is an Ass no mater where they stand.

 

[CorporalClegg]

You sure put a lot of effort into a single false equivalency whattaboutism.

 

[valkyrie013]

Ah Whattaboutism.. a word crutch used by those who can't argue against a person making a point.
Person A gets fired for saying something..
Person B gets a pass for saying worse..

Direct comparison of hypocrisy..
Cheers!

 

[Gaith]

It could also be that they decided not to pursue this in order to keep the Rogue Squadron movie's focus on Rebel/Alliance forces fresh...

Well Bette Middler has said a shed load worse yet she's in hocus pocus 2.. Owell..

Those quotes you cited are indeed eyebrow-raising, but we don't know what Carano was like on set; it's entirely possible her firing is as much a personal thing as a PR one.

 

[Jayson1]

If they want to hire her back they will hire back. It's about money. I would not be surprised if they are just waiting for the right time. It's not like hiring her back now does anything but bring negative attention. They can still wait the mob out for now because their is no rush.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Ah Whattaboutism.. a word crutch used by those who can't argue against a person making a point.

The whataboutism is a crutch fart is used by those who are just mad because their bullshit is constantly called out. But make no mistake, your entire post was literally the definition of a whataboutism.

Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.

You completely failed to address JD's point and instead replied with What about Midler?

So, please, enlighten us. What does Bette Midler have to do with Disney's decision to rehire (or not) Carano?

Even if they were similar (And for the record they're not, for a potentially infinite number of reasons you, I, or anyone in the right outrageoshpere could ever possibly know about.), one still has nothing to do with the other.

And that is the point.

*And for the record, my snipe about "a lot of effort" was fully intended as passive aggressive shade. One big copypasta taken from a website that proudly brands itself "The Right side of entertainment" presents a compete and utter lack of effort.

Try harder next time.

Also, nothing in Disney's actions actually meets the criteria of hypocrisy. But I digress.
